Do you think the eating of salty Supper Bowl food caused me to swell after Liposuction?

Swelling after liposuction may increase by not wearing your garment, eating salty foods that encourage you to retain water, and excessive activities. Did you stand up and cheer a lot during the game?

Yes this can for sure be the case.  all of my liposuction patients are directed in a proper low salt high protein diet with exercise after liposuction and get diuretics to decrease swelling faster.  I would speak to your treating physician if you are concerned.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Hi there. It was a great game and a time for minor indulgences like delicious, perhaps a bit salty food. Yes you can have recurrent swelling of the treated areas after a salty meal. Although transient, its a disturbing consequence. You should contact your BCPS or the staff nurse for instructions.  I'd suggest that you  hydrate with well- balanced electrolyte water and resume massage of the treated areas.  Good luck and good looks. Dr. Burnett
